Some scammers are subtle. Other scammers are as subtle as a sledgehammer or a piano out of the tenth floor (pick whatever suits you).
Here's one from the second group.
The scammer's emails are date-stamped; his name has been changed. My comments are in bold.
This struck Mal's and Cammy's inboxes (well, one of hers) on the same day.

Hello Dear,
I am aware of all the problems you have passed through in trying to pick your fund from the bank officials without success,right now I have been promoted as the new payment officer and as a result I possess executive powers to release your fund without delay or any upfront fees.But before I can do this,you must be willing to part with 50% of the whole fund worth USD 10.7 MILLION and you must follow the bank rules and regulations accordingly by visiting the bank payment center to sign the fund release order as the beneficiary before the bank can transfer the fund to your bank account, because the Bank insists that you must come in person to sign the fund release Order If this is OK by you,then respond via email with the needful information's.
I will need your valid international passport and Your Nearest Airport with your current contact details address,phone number Occupation for the transfer process and your flight ticket and hotel booking?
May God's blessing remain with you.

Straight out of the blocks and he's intent on taking control.
But Mal can be direct as well.
Mr Kaiser
Let me get this straight; you won't levy any fees or charges. You'll just take half the money. Amirite?

Cammy, OTOH, is puzzled.
Dear Fred
Who are you exactly?
Camille White
Who are you exactly?
Camille White
He doesn't answer either question. His answer to Cammy is identical save for beginning with "Dear Camille".

Dear Malcolm Reynolds
Thank you for your email responses.
The Bank you are to visit is Johannesburg South Africa. All the Bank needs is for you to come in person and sign off the funds release order on your behalf. As soon as this is done your funds will be released to you unconditionally without any delay or upfront payment. You will not pay any money until the funds hit your account and you have access to it.
I will need only your direct telephone number and an attached copy of your international valid passport for your flight booking alongside your hotel booking.
If you're willing to come to Johannesburg next week to sign the funds legalization documents then I will instruct the Bank protocol officer to book your flight ticket alongside your hotel reservation.The Bank you are coming to is the Reserve Bank Johannesburg.
Expect your valued response.
Regards,

Mal displays cynicism.
Mr Kaiser
Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that I accept your conditions. What happens if you don't get your share?

Cammy is more informative.

OK, it seems he's reading my replies at least.

Dear Malcolm Reynolds
Thanks for your email.
I must get my share of the money as soon as you've confirmed payment reflection on your said account.
I will rather share 60/40 so as not to be seen as a greedy man.
There's no time to waste so we can proceed.
Fred
Mr Kaiser
You are a greedy man. Don't try to deny reality.
Malcolm Reynolds

Nonetheless, he sends this message to Mal and Cammy, so he's sticking to his script.

Dear Mr. Malcolm Reynolds
NOTE: You are not making any Advance-payment Because I have made an Agreement with a bank Financier who will take care of your flight expenses with your returning ticket and hotel reservation will be paid by him. By the time you confirm the payment in your account you will pay back all the expenses at the process?
But you must follow the bank rules and regulations accordingly by visiting the bank payment center to sign the fund release order only before the bank can transfer the fund to your bank account., because the Bank insists that you must come in person to sign the relevant documents.
If you are really ready and serious I will need your valid international passport and Your Nearest Airport with your current contact details address,phone number full name Occupation.for the transfer process and for your flight ticket and hotel booking
May God's blessing remain with you.

At this point Mal and Cammy make their respective feelings known.
Dear Fred

Mr Kaiser
You're so keen to get me onto your territory and under your control... and knowing what I've heard about South Africa, you're planning that I wouldn't be seen again.
Ain't happening, Bubba-Louie.

And he doesn't reply to Cammy, only to Mal.

Dear Malcolm
The idea of coming to the Reserve Bank Of Johannesburg for the signing of the funds release order and your funds will be transferred to you without hitch nor delay. Johannesburg is very close, it is just a 6 hours flight and you can fly via KLM or Air France. The Bank will pay your flight ticket and hotel reservation throughout the period of your 2 days stay in Johannesburg.
Your food and drinks in the hotel is also paid by the back including your going and returning ticket. The money will be transferred and an atm card will be issued to you to enable you to operate the said money via ATM machine in any part of the world. Kindly, send me your attached copy of your international passport copy and your direct telephone number for easy communication.
Expect your valued response.

Mr Kaiser
I have zero reasons to believe you, or to trust you. You demand half the money, and expect me to do everything you say, put myself in your hands and at your mercy... and with zero proof that you can do anything at all.
Ain't happening, Bubba-Louie.
